I have a 1970 442 W-30 Distributor for sale complete with points and condenser. Part # 1111979. I thought I would offer it to you guys on our form first before I put it on Ebay. I am open to realistic offers. This distributor is in great condition, It's been on a self for the past 18 years. It spins free and seems to be very tight with little play. I can send pics. if interested Thanks

I'll take it, PM sent

Vader

How can you take it if he didn't list a price ?? I think there's a line as well.

stevengerard

probably a long line, I PMed him right away and I bet two people already beat me to it - and who knows what price he's looking for - I've seen these all over the place.

Sorry for delay with a few pictures and to all the PM's. I wiill try to get back to all the PM's. Hopfully this can answer the questions. I know what I went thru and paid for my 69 442 W-30 distributor. I know there getting $350 for one off repops. I also was told and read on here these are worth $500 to $800 and sometimes more. I am not trying to over charge anyone, Thats why I asked for reasonable offers before I put it on ebay. Thanks Michael

$500.02 for $500 you can put Vader in front of me - besides it has the wrong date for my buddies car

Is there a difference between the W-30 dist. compared to the Standard 442 dist. Besides the part #.

The 70 W30 automatic distributor is 1111979,and there are only a few dates those were made.The OA8 is one of them,being January 8th,1970. This would have gone in the later half of the W30's built.Basicly from late-January to June 1970.That's a nice piece.

1969 442 w30

Thanks for all the responces and pm's for my distributor, After reading them and asking around. I am asking $700.00 for the distributor. That seemed to be the fairest price to me to give everyone a chance for it that wants it, since I didn't have or Know a fair price when I posted it. Please understand I ment no disrespect by not answering pm's and this post sooner, I just didn't want to say the wrong price and sound like I was trying to charge to much... I also didn't know the differance in prices of the 4 speed distributors and automatics ones. As you all know it's tuff selling parts to a friend!! LOL Thanks Michael

leepear

Michael, your price is fair for that part. I have been looking for a 2036 distributor for a long time and would gladly pay that even though it is a 71 4 speed.

Lee

Vader

Is this the new line ?? Let me know... Thanks

rt66442

Wow Vader, when I was typing my PM(turtle speed) on Monday you responded, I wasn't taking cuts, I'm way to slow obviously. Tonight I'm sending PM(at least thought I was(like Monday)), and you are in front of me again!! No disrespect intended Vader. I don't think my PMs are going through, probably because of my super sonic typing skills. I guess I'll make my offer public. Micheal,friend, can you go $550 and a NOS set of 442 hood emblems in GM boxes, with retainers for your 69. I'll cover shipping. $700 is tough for me this close to Christmas, with 3 youngsters. Please let me know, in the meantime I'll figure out this PM thing. I do know how to work paypal.
Thanks, Randy

Vader

Wait, I have 17 kids, and have xmas coming, I will pay the asking price, plus a bottle of Infamil, some Baby Einstein tapes, and a Megamind dvd.

yes ?? do Pm's over rule board post ? If you play cards and use wilds, does 5 of a kind beat a natural royal flush ? The world will never know....

Like i said lee, I'm tired..

+ 72 hey my Canuck friend ? You never replied to my rop pm's !! Cheers eh

leepear

Heck.......I already have an extra 979 distributor that I will need to sell when I get my 2036, but I want to get into the bidding war. How about a rally pack tac and ram air cleaner.........or I am still trying to sell that damn ram air hood in Colorado....ok I am out because I don't really need two 979 distributors because I only have 4 speeds.

Good luck gentleman.........Lee

1969 442 w30

Lee, thanks. thats what I thought

Vader, yes I guess it is
Randy, Sounds like a good offer, but I don't need the emblems but thats a great offer. Sorry I could use the cash.I can also relate to christmas and 3 kids, I also have 3 kids. LOL

72xw30, Offered $700.00 plus shipping. I'd say sold... Unless it's a bidding war... LOL
Now thats funny !! Good Question about the pm's and the post! should I wait for a ruling!! LOL

Vader

OK, so I think I was after Lee. He said he's out ! will pm you.

rt66442

What about me, I stated Monday " I'll take it " ?????

Vader

Yes, but Monday you responded 600 seconds after I did !
This is too funny.

leepear

I was always out on this thread and only in because it was a very interesting display of salesmanship on a rare piece. Once you established the price you showed professionalism by not changing it. If I were to moderate this odd display of salesmanship 72x came pretty late in this game to knock out the early pms of people that still wanted the distributor. The only fair way to sell this piece is to establish who the first buyer was and sell it to that person. Otherwise this will always be a fishy deal not done correctly. Only my opinion..........Lee

507OLDS

Unless their PM'd offers were less.

leepear

That is not necessarily true in this thread. Here Michael posted I have a distributor. Normal sale, I would PM what do you want for it or I will give you X. Michael stated he did not respond to PMs. So there was no opportunity for the "Sorry that is not enough, I want $700...........then the PM OK sold. If I was the first interested buyer I was the first interested buyer and would still stand in that position to be able to say yes or no. This whole thing is too funny and I hope Michael can come out of this without a bit of a black eye.

Good luck guys. Lee

Hi guys,

Sorry to jump in at the last moment to buy the distributor.
I too agree that the process should be followed. Therefore I believe VADER was before me and interested in buying it.....so give him first shot....if he refuses the right to buy then I will still take the distributor. I don't want to step on any toes.

Thanks

Sam

stevengerard

and I was before Vader but I don't' want it for 700

too many kids myself

rt66442

Foiled by Vader again !!?? If "the process should be followed", again I was the first to say "I'll take it" , I'll pay your price (poor little ones). But Vader responded before me. I'll take it if he's out.
Thanks, Randy

Vader

You don't know the power of the dark side.

You guys are very civilized.I take my hat off for you.

1969 442 w30

Thanks guys for working this out... and in what seems fair... I found myself in a spot and was trying to figure who was fisrt and I didn't want to offend someone over a part. So I'm going to ask who am I selling it too again? Just to be sure. LOL Thanks again Michael

gearheads78

OK I am surfing google for deal on formula for the twins. How did I end up back here?

stevengerard

Ok Michael, for the thousandth time I was first and you said for 200 I can have it

stevengerard

Hate to say it but Walmart was the cheapest i found, we had to get the soy mix as mine were lactose intolerant. Try them

rt66442

[QUOTE=1969 442 w30;346087]" So I'm going to ask who am I selling it too again? "
I would like to think you would stick to the facts on this forum (since you haven't answered any of my PMs since Monday). Fact: Vader was first to respond publicly on this forum. Fact: I was second to respond publicly on this forum. Fact: I was first to respond publicly on this forum saying "I'll take it", and have stood by that statement the entire time and still do.
BUT BEWARE of the powers of the darkside !!!!

Vader

The circle is now complete.


Time to make the kessel run...

leepear

Just curious who got this distributor? nosy Lee

joepenoso

OK I'll take it back .......you're not that civilised.............. the guy who wants it $700.00 worth trumps over the initial $200 guy.
What would you do??????
joepenoso
Just my .002 cents

1969 442 w30

Vader and rt66442 decided it was vader.. So vader got it.... It's on it's way to vader. thanks to everyone for you input. Michael

leepear

Nice save Michael: You came out on top on this deal.

Lee

Vader

Rec'd..looks good. THX
Can't believe you would use parcel post for a $700 dist ??
wow.. that's ____ !

1969 442 w30

Thanks.... It got scary for a little bit ??!! LOL One of those interesting deals...LOL


I'm glad you got it OK!!! And are Happy with it...THANK YOU.... It was insured...
